Represented by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dr. Namdi Chanbani, the House of Representatives Speaker explained that such constitutional roles would not only make them more relevant but also help in maintaining political and economic growth as well as social cohesion.

In his address, the Arinjale of Ise-Ekiti, Oba Ayodele Ajayi, observed that the Chieftaincy titles conferred on notable Nigerians would go a long way to promote peace, unity and urged the newly installed chiefs to always work for progress of Nigeria and humanity.
